Central Florida Remembers 9/11: Local Events

A memorial that is etched in stone is seen with the names of the 911 victims at the Pentagon Memorial, August 21, 2011, at the Pentagon in Washington,DC. It is a permanent outdoor memorial to the 184 men, women, and children who lost their lives as victims of the attack, killed both in the building and on American Airlines Flight 77 in the September 11, 2001 attacks. Across the memorial grounds, 184 bench-like structures, each one dedicated to a victim, are clustered in what seems like an uneven and unsettling array throughout the main grounds of the memorial.
